Nuclear Protest In Budapest, Hungary

Greenpeace Hungary activists turn Clark Adam Square into a nuclear symbol in protest against plans to build a second reactor at the Paks Nuclear Power Station, currently responsible for 40% of Hungary’s electricity generation. The 4 units (440MW capacity each) have been operating since the 1980s and have had their lifetime extended to the 2030s. Next week the Hungarian parliament will make a final decision on the extension of the power plant.
